I agree that nobody knows, with certainty, how the world came to exist; we have only theories. Evolution explains the development of the universe after the existence of some kind of initial “bodies,” or particles; there is no problem with that. Although evolution does not explain its own existence; physical science has been unable to find an answer, and possibly it won’t ever be found. Most scientists do not want to go further, but philosophers wonder if a metaphysical “sphere” is also possible. Physical sciences cannot prove that is impossible.

I agree that nobody knows, with certainty, how the world came to exist; we have only theories. Evolution explains the development of the universe after the existence of some kind of initial “bodies,” or particles; there is no problem with that. Although evolution does not explain its own existence; physical science has been unable to find an answer, and possibly it won’t ever be found. Most scientists do not want to go further, but philosophers wonder if a metaphysical “sphere” is also possible. Physical sciences cannot prove that is impossible.

You look also for the meaning for the world; I do too; but I think that before that we should wonder about the cause and origin of the universe itself; if we’d find the cause, perhaps we’ll find the meaning. For me it is evident that there must be some principle, or cause, or causes; that is for me step one. You see the Existence as an “anthropomorphic god;” however, I am strongly opposed to the concept of an anthropomorphic god in my writings, as well as a matter of principle.

None of the theories to explain the existence of the world can be proved; so, some abstain from making a choice to explain it; and some—aware that they are only theories—do chose. This is risky: it is only a possibility. The fact is—believe it or not—that there is a gap, or vacuum, or ignorance in the explanation for the existence of the world which ends with a question: is something there? Some don’t care; for others it is important to have an answer, and make a choice among the possible theories; a choice that is at least reasonable, and does not contradict any proven physical law.

Personally, I have made the choice: an ontological Existence. I admit that this is an unproven assumption, but at least the decision was taken without the arrogance and presumption of those who have the “certainty” of their myths and religious fantasy.

I know that you cannot agree with my view, but I am glad that we both have had the opportunity to share our
